Dude,
You are trying to stir the pot on this?
The entire thing has gone on for so long, so much time and money spent after 9/11
3 trillion dollars spent on the Iraq war
1 or 2 trillion on Afghanistan.
The Soviet Union went bankrupt fighting this guy, and now the US is in very deep debt. It seems the response has drained the economy pretty badly.
But that was done a long time ago, Pretty much one incident and he has us changing our way of life after that. I would say the biggest hurt was how much energy we put into responding to it. And that's what he wanted.
Anytime you get into a fight, both parties lose. I remember talking to a guy that had false teeth and an obviously broken nose. He got all of that in one fist fight. I asked who won? He said that he did. You sure couldn't tell by looking.
I don't think I would have wanted to be one of the forty that were dropped within the courtyard of the building looking for heavens knows what.
But I know from your previous posts, that if the English had done it, they would have used their fists. A few black eyes and that would have been that.
I just hope at some point in time, that some of this can be put in the past. The world is getting smaller, and the need to get along greater.

I'll take the military route any time compared to the navy. Based on experience, military boarding schools are really fun. The extra-curricula activities such as sports and the arts will be freely available and with a greater number and scope of options. There is a chance for an all-round education at a military school.
